🕰️ World champion Josh Kerr will attempt to break the mile world record of 3:43.13, set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999, at the London Diamond League on July 18, 2026.
Kerr and his longtime sponsor Brooks are calling their shot publicly, dubbing the attempt “Project 222”—a reference to his goal of running the mile in 222 seconds (3:42).
Kerr’s current PB, 3:45.34, is the British national record and slots him No. 6 on the all-time list. Entering the outdoor season, he’s coming off of winning his second World Indoor Championships gold medal in the 3000m, having held off a late charge from 1500m Olympic champion and 5000m World champion Cole Hocker in Toruń, Poland.
Books is going all-in for Kerr, with fully personalized race-day support, including:
– A custom spike—expected to comply with all World Athletics guidelines—built around Kerr’s biomechanics, featuring advanced cushioning and a tuned carbon plate system
– Three aerodynamic speed suit concepts with Kerr as the sole tester
– Physiological support from the Brooks Run Research Lab covering sleep, hydration, and recovery
